<\/span>3. Resident and Non-Resident Rates<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen planning your safari in Kenya, understanding the pricing structure is crucial. Different rates apply depending on whether you’re an East African resident or a non-resident. Prices are divided into two main categories: accommodation rates<\/strong> and park entry fees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>3.1 Accommodation Rates<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nKenya has a wide range of accommodations, from budget camps to luxury lodges, with prices that vary depending on the location, season, and residency status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- East African Residents (EAC citizens)<\/strong>: Generally benefit from lower accommodation rates compared to non-residents.
